Created by Ludvig Strigues (ludde) a computer program that follows the rules of a protocol. Added some new features to 2.2 improved the torrenting experience.

This section provides descriptions of all options available in the uTorrent Preferences dialog.

About uTorrent

uTorrent is the smallest torrent client out on the net.

uTorrent is a freeware BitTorrent client currently for Microsoft Windows only. The entire program is a single 576 KiB executable (as of January 2007). It was designed to use as little of a computer's resources as possible while offering equivalent functionality of heavily featured clients, such as Azureus or BitComet. Its title is frequently abbreviated as 'uT' or 'uT' (as it is difficult to type 'u' using many keyboard layouts). uTorrent is written in C++.

uTorrent Features

Configurable bandwidth scheduler

Customizable search bar and icons

Unicode support. It utilizes embedded Unicode support for Windows 95/98/ME, avoiding the need for the Microsoft Layer for Unicode which is several times the size of uTorrent.

UPnP support for all versions of Windows, implemented without the use of Windows XP's UPnP framework.

Did You Know?

Version 2.0 includes a transfer cap, so that users who have had limits imposed by their ISPs can keep track and automatically kill torrenting when that limit is reached. Skins have also been introduced, but there's no skins option in Preferences: instead, you must go to the uTorrent site and download and install them yourself. That's unnecessarily irritating.
